I like the angle of the car and the country setting background. Your title is okay and kind of works for the challenge (I'm probably being too picky about the hyphenated "fifty-seven").

Nice shot. A polarizing filter can help with the glare that often happens in car hoods.

Hmmm...think they forgot something?...

This IS odd. I'd think the pool would come first, then the slide. Hope there are no kids around now to try it out. The image quality seems a little lifeless. I noticed that you used Highlights/Shadows. I find that often seems to flatten the image. When that happens, I like to follow up with an Exposure adjustment, reducing the Offset just a little, and increasing the Gamma just a little. That brings the photo back to life. Anyway this is a fun capture -- makes you wonder.

Looks a bit out of place in that setting. I can imagine a shiny car in a dirty untidy mechanic's workshop.

Okay, this is funny. I like how the girls are not in the frame -- it adds to that feeling of being pulled up and out of the frame. Actually seeing the trampoline kinda detracts from the "illusion," but without it, there would be no basis for a "game."

Technically, the exposure and lighting is good and the frozen action is really good. There is an odd effect (almost an edginess) visible, though, especially in the denim skirt. It looks like it was perhaps slightly underexposed, so it was brightened, then noise reduction used to reduce the noise. Not sure that was the process, so if not, try it on a picture and maybe you can see what I'm talking about.

Overall, it is a creative effort, but I suspect that some of the lower votes may have been because there is not a recognizable or familiar game in the shot.

Best to you in future challenges.
